I thouht that some people want to integrate a GPIO button for activating manually the wifi discovery. This should be optional and defined with a var like WIFI_BUTTON Thanks in advance.

@AlexProgrammerDE Will reopen this since we would like to support use-cases like that in the future. When we make wifi-connect be able to be run as a long-running service, there should be an API that will allow interactions like this. It is actually a pretty nice idea.

@majorz thanks. I just thought that you can run a python script, which listens on the GPIO and starts then wifi connect. But an API is also a very good idea. :+1:

@majorz its been now about two months. Is here any progress?

I would like to add the suggestion of being able to indicate a pin for blinking an LED.

Is anyone known to be working on this? If not I will likely begin working on a solution for this.

I would also like this command as a service and the possibility to enabled/disable/connect this with an api
